Shmolitical Distractions People might ask at this point, without shmolitics, how do we organise and accomplish anything? An organisation is more than a set of rules or procedures; it is the blueprint for how power is harnessed and directed within. Every person who labours for said organisation empowers that structure. This is the skeleton upon…

Would We Have the Mind of God or Simulacrum? Imagine a world where every idea is a god, and every thought is a prayer. How would such a world look? It would be a place where no one could ever truly believe in anything, for every belief would be an idol: a stone carved from…

When we embrace forgiveness, for others while also accepting the gravity of God’s forgiving love for ourselves, we align our hearts with the divine rhythm of existence.…

Every atom, every energetic star, every breath of wind is an echo of that singular, unifying force that binds all things together,…

Identify the Patterns of Power to Unravel Now, let us step back and examine the pattern we’ve uncovered. There is a reason why these two elements of discourse (speaking truth to power and punching up rather than down) are so vital.

There is a dangerous illusion that one can live a good life without ever facing struggle, and that this is somehow preferable to make it to the end of life with least amount of pain, rather than most amount of triumph. This belief suggests that if we simply avoid wrongdoing, we will automatically become virtuous.…

How Punching Down Hurts All Now, let us cast our gaze upon a darker shadow in the realm of discourse: punching down. To punch down is to target the powerless, the vulnerable, or the nearly voiceless; those who have no say in the systems that govern their lives and who have most often been used…
